King of the Desert was a huge success. And now it's time for the next celebration of Age of Empires:
MembTV and supporters weren't resting after funding and promoting King of the Desert. Only a few days after the event finished they started thinking "What next?". Together with the support of Phoenix Gaming International (PGI) they collected an incredible 6000 USD to get straight back into action and bring you another fantastic tournament. This time for teams.
Headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska USA, Phoenix Gaming International is a rapidly expanding gaming PC builder that was started by a group of business professionals, IT professionals, and designers in 2017 with the goal of providing gamers and streamers with premier quality and service at prices that are more affordable than the alternatives. To save our customers money, we have built an assembly and distribution chain that spans from Legazpi Philippines to Blackpool United Kingdom. This network allows us to complete our orders as close as possible to our customers and save them money on shipping and taxes. Our PC’s are crafted with care by highly trained and certified builders and constructed with the highest quality name brand parts available on the market.
At Phoenix it is not only about the product and sales, we love the gaming and streaming community as a whole. Often, you can find our staff in the chat on some of your favorite streams or in the lobbies of some of your favorite games. Our company knows and understands the importance of being active and involved with our customers, clients, and partners for more than the time it takes to complete a transaction. From day one we have made a commitment to the streaming and content creation community and we put our money where our mouth is doing it. Over half of our marketing budget is being spent directly on upcoming events such as BoA right here on MembTV and on a referral program that compensates streamers directly for the customers that they bring us. Why do we do this? Simple. We know and believe that when a company takes care of the community it is involved in that the community will take care of it in return. Marketing firms may do an excellent job of getting the word out about a product, but they are also in it for themselves and that money will never make it back into the community that it is designed to reach. So, if you stream and are looking for companies to work with, look us up. If you are a professional gamer looking for your first licensing deal, look us up. And if you are a gamer, we hope you choose to upgrade your game with a Phoenix Gaming PC.
